Hammer through the monitor?

[spootch 0]

So I have Adobe premier elements 7 loaded into my PC (vista). I have used the program several times with no problems. However last time i went to do some editing with it it asked where the file "blablabla" is. So I take the program by the hand and show it where the file is (yes it is stored on my external drive). As soon as i click the file it responds that it needs a "codec" to make it work. WTF? it worked before, where the hell did it go? How do I find out what codec is missing? Or should I just use a bigger hammer?

Use Gspot to find out what the codec is.
You can download it after a quick google search.
you'll then need to install that codec.
An update of Premiere might be all you need to do as well..

Your advice is to google "Gspot?" I'm sure that'll keep him occupied but I doubt it'll answer his question!

I wondered if anyone would pick up on that. Googling "Gspot, video" turns up some fun results.
Googling "GSpot, video, codec" is a bit more bland.

Actually googling "gspot" returns suggested software in first hit.

Seems google is getting smarter...
